-----yet the budgetary allocation is being cut by 56%. That is what we mean when we say someone is speaking out of both sides of his or her mouth. The people will see the true picture behind the cuts. Let us take the cuts in the RAPID programmes for the disadvantaged throughout the country, equivalent to 41%. I could go on and on, but I shall bow to the Cathaoirleach in this regard. I could say a great deal more, but this Government has done little or nothing to protect employment and foster any growth in the economy which is absolutely necessary to get our people back to work.
